2-1-1 Offers Assistance During October Nor'easter
United Way 2-1-1 assisted thousands of individuals and families who were affected by the October Nor'easter. 2-1-1 operated without interruption during and after the storm despite losing power for several days, handling a record number of calls and maintaining up-to-date information on shelters and other needed resources. 2-1-1 operations around the country regularly mobilize for weather events and other emergencies to provide information and access to needed services in cooperation with state and local emergency responders. For assistance during weather-related events and everyday of the year, dial 2-1-1 or visit www.211ct.org. |

Once the survey is complete, a list of programs for which someone may be eligible is generated. The list also includes links to applications and program information. Click here for the
